Lane Miles Standish Printing Co.

Portland, Oregon

The Lane-Miles Standish Printing Co. is a family-owned business that has been operating out of the same building in northwest Portland since 1929. An original historic Slabtown business, with its identifiable “castle” on the corner, the building and business remains a fixture of the neighborhood. The company decided to further develop the 25,000 sf property while maintaining the character of the existing building. Interested in sustainable infill and embracing growth, the company will own the site indefinitely and is dedicated to regenerating their own business as well as providing a catalyst for development in the neighborhood.

The new Lane Building retains the original exterior, which features the distinctive turret at the corner of NW 19th & Raleigh Street. Renovations included a seismic and systems upgrade. An existing warehouse on the site was demolished and replaced with a six-story tower containing retail, office space, and 20 upscale apartment units built with sustainable finishes.
